My story

Hi! I'm Simon, a Spanish and German student, interested in quantum computing. I did my bachelor's degree in Spain and a master in Switzerland. After several projects in experimental labs, my interests moved towards quantum algorithms and I am currently working on quantum machine learning and near-term quantum algorithms at the Freie Universität in Berlin.
